FIAT SCORPION LOCATIONS:

(2/5) Hint 1: Start your search by going back in history and getting to know the man behind the car. Visit www.fiatusa.com/abarth. Hint: Don’t get caught in the headlight.

Visit www.fiatusa.com/abarth, click the right arrow until you get to the page on Karl Abarth. Click on the headlight of the motorcycle in the picture to collect the scorpion.

(2/9) Hint 2: According to one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world, scorpions are masters of adaptation and have been around for hundreds of millions of years.

(2/20) Hint 5: A little blue bird told us that the keeper of you next clue is still in shock after meeting our scorpion face to face. Needless to say, he orders his latte with extra froth ever since.

visit the twitter picture twitpic.com/8lli33. Click the link under the picture to collect the scorpion.

(2/23) Hint 6: Karl Abarth got his start with FIAT by manufacturing an incredibly popular modification kit for the gear and exhaust terminals of the FIAT Topolino. With ABARTH, FIAT has become synonymous with top speed.

visit www.topspeed.com. Click scorpion advertisement on right hand side to collect the scorpion.

Sweeties Note: if the ad doesn’t appear for Hint 6 keep refreshing the page until it shows up. It is definitely on this page but might be in rotation with other ads. It is square and on the right side.

Looks like this…………

(2/27) Hint 7: Abarth and FIAT’s 45 years of collaboration have resulted in six international records and nearly 900 individual race victories, which means you’ll be going 0-60 in no time.

visit www.0-60mag.com. As usual, it should be in the rotation of ads on the right-hand side.

(10) First Prizes: a FIAT® ABARTH Gift Pack, which consists of the following: One ABARTH Tracker Sign, One Scorpion Pin, One ABARTH Hat, One ABARTH Mug, One ABARTH T-shirt, One FIAT® Wristwatch, One FIAT® Messenger Bag, and One Die-Cast. ARV: $202.95

I’ve tried dozens of times over many days for the scorpion in clue #6, which is supposed to be on the “topspeed” site. Well, for ME it never appears, only many other ads that keep changing. It doesn’t matter if I refresh the screen over and over and over and over — seems like infinity times. It doesn’t matter which browser I use, it doesn’t matter if I have ad blockers ON or OFF or In or OUT or upside down!! It just simply will NOT load. It is a bogus clue and a bogus answer to that clue. It just simply does not exist.

Aaak!!! 1 day to go and can’t get the last 2 clues. The ads don’t appear, even after repeated refreshing AND using IE, Chrome AND Firefox and the direct links don’t return anything but a blank page – on IE, Chrome and Firefox.

#7 – I just get an “ad” on the right that says March 1st and “Light em up of the Day”

#8 – Small grey caps “ADVERTISEMENT”, a shaded grey line then a square for subscribing
